Ok so I've had enough of sammy phones. now i am planning to buy opt to be honest this is the only phone in my view right now.
but i read a lot about "home" and "fingerprint" not working or stopped working in few weeks or so.
i have a two questions regarding opt.
Should i buy this smartphone? If so why?
Is fingerprint and home button issue related to software or hardware?
its a good phone for the price. Development and updates are gonna come soon now, so you almost picked the perfect time. My fingerprint and homebutton has always been working fine and all I did was unlock, root and install some kernels for now. I think the problems are hardware related though. To be honest. If you can affort it, definitely go for a nexus 6p.

im planning also to get this device, im confused if the 1+2 or the Redmi Note 3 pro.
It depends if you want a clean stock Android interface go for opt, if you want miui then go for mi note pro 3.
I personally would go for opt.

Avoid it. I sold my OPT after 6 months. Fingerprint doesn't work as soon as any moisture touches it. No real developer interest - looks at the threads to see all the devs who left. The price used to be a great draw until the Nexus price drops. And at the end of the day, nothing will fix the SD 810 which is an overheating mess. It just doesn't work.
If price matters, get the N5X. If you want the best phone right now, get the S7 Edge.

unless you get a used one on swappa or ebay for a deal, don't get it. I sold mine, Oxygen OS is terrible and even though there are custom roms where FP and LAF work, they are buggy. Wait for the Oneplus 3 or settle back for the original Oneplus One.
Love my OPT bought it in october and dont understand all the hate. Great overall experience. I ise exodus rom no bugs at all. But again all user choice. ?
Nexus 5 over heats way more than this device. fp and laf works perfect for me (only tested cm13 and exodus, though)
It's a great device, just buy it and dont think about it. The fingerprint Sensor is working awesome, much faster than the iPhone one. With the 3.0 update everything runs buttery smooth
I'd say it's really a gamble if you're buying the OPT since their tech support is flaky at best. The hardware specs are reasonable for the price and there are some good devs out there like Lord Boeffla and his kernel, however you will also have huge issues if your phone develops hardware problems. For example - some owners have setup a twitter account recently to badger Oneplus as they can't get any response from the local and official support channels after encountering hardware issues. I'd suggest taking the Nexus 5x instead as it is around the Oneplus price range and LG is a much larger and established company which will take RMA and support issues seriously.
my oneplus2 just arrived
I gotta say OS 3.0 on my OPT made the phone a million times better. Everything is super fast now and FP is even faster. Better life is much better now with 3.0. Before the update I wanted to throw the phone at the wall for all lags

Won't suggest, better to go for a lower powered phone instead for the price.

I too am going to be getting myself a opt next week. I've been pretty loyal to samsung in general owned a nexus 6 but still came back. I'm selling the note 4 so effectively getting opt free.

Exactly my expreience as well. With the OOS 3.0 beta it's like a completely new phone. It doesn't get warm at all, the performance is actually what you would expect from a Snapdragon 810 and the battery life is what you would expect from 3300mAh. It was always kind of held back by the ****ty software but with the 3.0 beta working really well and official cyanogenmod on the way, I can't think of a better phone at this price.
I've had my OP2 since they were first released, and have to say I'm still really happy with it. As mentioned by others, OOS3 (and the recent CM13 builds) have made performance 10 times better, and have no major complaints. Never had any problems with the home button or anything else. It's a steal at the price, imo
Don't buy it. Unless they've changed their design around the home button/FP, its going to fail.

Based on mine failing as well as a crap ton of others on this forum and oneplus community forum in the past month. I've raised this with OnePlus and they brushed it off, however they are RMA'ing my phone.
Trust me, I tried all the software tricks none of them worked for me.

I was an early adopter of the OnePlus One and strongly supported the company.
I was patient and waited to get my OnePlus Two invite, but I was not pleased that OnePlus was repeating the invite system. Still, I stuck with it.
This past Sunday, OnePlus sent me an invite (a holiday weekend)! But they sent it to my old email address (the address that I was using at the time I got the OnePlus One). I had changed my contact email on the OnePlus site a few weeks ago.
I didn't discover this invite until AFTER the 24 hour period had passed, so my invite was invalid.
I was bummed but nicely contacted customer service and the rep was very nice and helpful, and filled out out a service ticket. I was assured I'd hear back within 24-48 hours, but I heard nothing.
After the two days passed, I contacted customer service again, and another rep helped me by saying they will respond to my issue within 24 hours. Again, I heard nothing.
I've had it. I just ordered my Moto X Pure Edition. I went to Amazon, selected my item, and completed the purchase like a regular person.
It's so refreshing to just order a phone and expect to get it in a few days. It's not funny anymore.
#NeverSettle. I took OnePlus's advice and didn't settle.
Bummed about it, but psyched to get my Moto X.
Sucks. Got my OPT and loving it!

Just buy one on swappa.com. There are a **** ton so you will only pay barely over Retail.
Yeah I got an invite on holiday weekend I just bought right away. I got the phone on Thursday is a nice upgrade but you shouldn't feel to bad is not a crazy upgrade it feels like a oneplus oneS lol.
I have currently my Oneplus Two send in for replacement, but since the Two isn't as fascinating as I thought and the Moto X Style is in my opinion better at all than the two, I will sell the Two when it arrives at home.

Better screen, SD-Card slot, better support, less heat and in my case a better quality. Enough arguments?
EDIT: Two more: Better firmware and even after it launched only some days before better community support. The Two only has a weird chinese TWRP where nobody knows who actually made it.

And that's my problem. Most of the ROM's are from the chinese forum, so I don't know what is working or not. With the Style I have the chance that more English speaking people will work on it.

Better screen? No, it has a higher resolution display and people are reporting horrible battery life like 2h SOT bad because of that screen so think again. SD-Card is not very necessary when you have 64gb of storage. Better support? Moto was one of the slowest OEMs to update their phones with last year's Moto X that was one of the biggest complaints. Less heat? OPT doesn't get hot? Ive had it for 2 weeks and not once it did it get even remotely hot, all the reviewers said the exact same thing. Better firmware? Refer to what I said above about updates and their software is less feature packed than Oxygen, even though Oxygen is still rough around the edges. And better community support? you got to be ****ting me on this. OnePlus phones always had the largest community/developer support compared to any phones. They are up there with Nexus devices.

The SOT thing is bull****. 4hrs are minimum. It is also reported in the Style forums here. With support I mean the customer support. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Mine got during playing really hot at the metal edges.
For the software I can only refer to the semi working fingerprint scanner and homebutton. The only one thing I like about Oxygen is the dark theme, that's it.
The community/dev support was big when the Oneplus One came out. But now, it's ver slow. Nobody can get a good ROM with all functions working, because Oneplus doesn't release the drivers for the fingerprint scanner. Yes, they don't have to, but what does the releaxed attitude towards unlocking the bootloader help when you only have barely working ROM's?
I don't want to start a rough discussion. Everybody can decide for themeselves which phone they like more. Oneplus changed my attitude towards them when they took nearly three weeks to send me a correct RMA ticket! I will test the Style. I don't really need the fingerprint scanner, but regarding Android Pay, NFC would be more interesting than the fingerprint scanner.

The Style had me interested until I saw the battery life results. While some people are able to get 4 hours SOT, I've seen a ton of reports of people struggling to get much better than 3 hours, which is what I was expecting. Development for the OP2 will pick up once more developers are able to get their hands on one. Mine got warm when I restored my apps and once in awhile when I play games but it's not unbearable. I'll take a fingerprint reader over NFC too. I'd be more interested in LGs next Nexus device over the Style, but that's just me!
But seriously, for those people with OPT that have somewhat unresponsive fingerprint scanner/home button. I didn't have that issue, and 1 of my friend didn't have that issue. But to me 64bit processor are still better(minus the downclocking), if you are still stay at SD80x it's still okay. Since they already predicted next year SD820 will be released. Still it is up to you

I think the only way to get Opposition to change their tune is to complain....
Lets see no shared source code for the phone. They somehow let the success go to their heads, and think that it was them who made the OnePlus a success and not the independent community.
Based on their response in the past, the only way they change course is if they see a lot of people complaining.
The funniest thing is that the box says "Created together with our fans <3".
But seriously, we know that you are frustrated about this. But don't post it around. It already happends a lot.

I totally disagree. If you don't like the companies behavior or their product you can just buy an iPhone to think different or go for a nice Nokia 5110. Still connecting people those days.
IMHO I think they do a pretty great job for such a small company. The phone has great build quality, superb ingredients, regular software updates and the OS is stable as hell. Just look at that super high end S6 Edge for example. Great piece of metal and glas but laggy as hell compared to our OP2.
For me that's the best smartphone I have had so far and I already shared some invites to some friends and neighbors. And no one so far complained to me about a missing open source git tree.
I agree with you in that way that it would be nice to have CM12 with fingerprint and laser autofocus. But who can blame a company for protecting their work? No big Android manufacturer released their source code as far as I know.

Seems that those who are happy with stock OS haven't ever tried any custom ROM based on CM
That's how the things should be done!
OP2 stock OS (oxygenOS) is crap, hate it.
When I tap on "Phone" app icon why it takes an app about 1 second to launch? Snapdragon 810, 4 gigs of RAM???
Really? What the heck? My 10 year old Nokia 3230 opens phone app with the same speed.
There are a lot of others examples how this ****ty oxygenOS spoil experience with beautiful hardware.
On AICP, for example, "Phone" app launches instantly.
I really miss FP sometimes, hope with CM13 finger print sensor will become functional.
So, phone itself is a superb piece of hardware, but oxygenOS is a piece of ...

It's the oneplus launcher. Try another launcher like Google, nova or even CM launcher. Oxygen OS is basically stock with some customizations which are quite nice and which have nothing to do with performance. You can tweak it pretty much the same way you'd tweak the stock aosp. You can root it, install xposed, replace kernel. You can achieve a very nice result with Oxygen OS.

People who buy OnePlus 2 almost always want to customize it. That's the reason OPT is so easily unlockable and rootable. So for them the out of the box state should not be very important. That doesn't mean that OPT doesn't work out of the box. It works very well within my expectations. I think most of the problems with OPT are exaggerated.
But if you don't want to customize anything, but just enjoy the out of the box experience, OPT is not for you. You'd want a Samsung/LG/Sony phone which is locked down, so that its poor users can't escape the out of the box experience.

The thing is, it is not even that amzing for Customizing. Not yet at least. Not until OnePlus or Marshmallow comes along and fixes the LAF and FPS.

See it's simple, OnePlus released enough source code that we could build such a stable CM12
The part where Oneplus can't release code is Autofocus and Fingerprint
Just wait for Marshmallow, since it will use Marshmallow API, we can directly use compiled OOS driver on Cm13 for fingerprint
The only thing I am worried about is LaF
Official Cm 13 is already in work
Check cyanogenmod's Github to see the progress

It seems to me there is no pleasing these people so no point in trying to use any form of logic on them. If it was that simple you could just use points like.
1. The 1+ company is brand new and offering amazing phones at unbeatable values.
2. No phone ever rolls off of the line perfect and bug free and usually takes at least 1 year to fix its major flaws.
3. Lollipop is the worst os Google has ever shoved out since the days of froyo.
4. Kernel sources were released super quickly unlike a lot of its competitors.
5. The fact you now got a fast desktop computer that can fit into your pocket is nothing more than simply amazing. When I was a kid in the early 90's just before the internet I had a pulsar computer which had a 16 mhz processor and 64 mb of ram and only had a 5" floppy disk drive. It came with windows 3.1 and only had 32 bit resolution and that was less than 25 years ago.
6. Be patient you cry babies. Didn't realize that a second of your time was the difference between life and death. Not only is the 1+2 not only a perfectly usable phone and everybody's over exaggerating problems with the device but marshmallow is about 10 days away from booting with 3 devs currently working on it.
I mean for Pete's sake I swear you guys would complain if somebody gave you a hundred dollar bill and it had an ink smudge on it.
Bottom line is you get what you pay for, but if your honestly expecting more bang for your buck than what you already have gotten I wish you the best of luck at finding it because when you get it you might find it not as good as you thought it would be. The 64 GB mi3 version of my phone ran about the same price as the 1+2 does now with a quad core sd801 and miui. Well it's been 2 years now and it only took them over 1 year to release kernel sources, miui has weekly updates that run on KitKat and are still really buggy, it lags down past 20 fps in 3d testing, the screen reacts before I even touch it if I don't have a screen protector on it, the radio in my phone is equivalent to the first gen iPhone (I usually sit between 2 and 3 bars out of 5 while my brothers 1+2 I had just bought for him sits at 3 to 5 it averages 4 bars mainly however it pegs out 5 bars just as often as it drops to 3 bars (I've never seen his lose signal for even a second). My phone will lose signal just driving down the road at times in the wide open rolling plains while his does not traveling in the same vehicle) so trust me for a Chinese phone you invested your money fairly well.
Sorry akexeiz I trailed off there while agreeing with you and got carried away but it needed to be said.

It's just a marketing, guys...
The OnePlus X looks great, has good specs and a very good price. But I'm reading lots and lots of issues relating to both hardware and software. I don't want to order one and then find it's a buggy piece of junk. I'm looking for a smooth, fast and reliable phone because I'm fed up with my laggy Moto G (1st gen). I've a low tolerance for annoying bugs/faults, and don't want to be disappointed if I buy a OPX
So the question is.. are you happy with your OPX, or do you regret buying it?
I'm happy with it, but you should know that X stands for Experimental. Oneplus has made a lot of choices there that may not fit the lambda customer. As a developer that like to flash roms and kernel, i'm happy!
But there are a lot of issues currently, and the performance are not that good (OxygenOS rom is pretty young). That will be fixed eventually but it will likely take some months...
No regrets here. Mainly because I don't consider software issues as a real problem. It's fixable. Anytime, anywhere. OnePlus even tolerant to rooting/unlocking. I've tried most expensive phones, like Xperia Z5, S6, and all of them had hardware issues. Which is most unlikely with OPX. But in your "low tolerance for annoying bugs/faults" case, I'd wait for a month or so until couple more OTAs out and bought OPX. In case you are inpatient, chose another phone.
It's an amazing phone, however, like others have said. Oxygen OS, is pretty much in a nightly stage. There's some lag that shouldn't exist on a phone with an 801 & 3GB of ram. The camera software needs some optimization. But these are all software issues that can be corrected. Once we have custom ROMs the true potential of the phone will be unleashed.

Only wish it had more memory. I can't use the MicroSD expansion because I need the slot for dual SIM.
wouldn't want to go back to my previous phone (xiaomi mi4)
Absolutely no,
Had a Oneplus One and a Samsung Galaxy S5
and the X is a whole different feeling, its just so stylish and I havent noticed any lags or performance issues at all.
Hi. I sold my Samsung Note3 because it was getting too big for use. I started to look for phone with 5 inch display, with amoled technology, with 3 gigs of ram and micro sd slot, and then OnePlus X came to show. And i dont regret of buying that device. It is slightly worse than Note3, i mean battery and camera, allso performance, but hey, that phone costs half price of new Note3. And that is something right?
No. I dont regret, and im happy that we will receive android 6.0 - note3 will not... that was also one of reasons of buying new phone.
The OnePlus X is a beautiful phone, feels and looks like a premium handset and the screen is amazing.
However, I am shamed to admit that mine has been sitting in the box in my drawer pretty much since I received it on 11th November. Disappointed.
Everytime I get it out for a play there is some sort of micro stutter or a bit of lag that annoys me that just doesn't occur on my HTC One M8 although the specs are virtually identical. I am just holding out for the custom ROMs that are on the way and hope they improve the whole experience because I can't see me giving up my HTC otherwise .
Seems there are happy users amongst the people with complaints, which is good to see. I like the OPX, I think I might just give it a try. I'll definitely be using a custom ROM once something stable is developed
I love the phone, but am in a weird situation.
I am in the minority where I had a chinese bootloader unlock screen...these phones are unable to flash twrp. The ability to flash custom roms is why I want this phone and what would make it great, but I am not able to do that. Hopefully a fix will be found.
Wait & See
Hi all,
I can't say I regret my OPX.
But I must admit my Nexus 5 was just perfect for :
- stability (stock non rooted),
- lag (simple: zero lag, anywhere, any app)
- games (such as FPSE + OpenGL -> zero lag with N5, lag and framerate pb with OPX)
- Bluetooth chipset: best compatibility with N5 (lag issue for OPX + Madcatz C.T.R.L.r but not with OPX + MOGA pocket)
- ROM (But as some said before, OPX and OxygenOS are still young. I'm still waiting for an AOSP or a CM to get better memory/CPU management)
According to design, it's a very subjective part... Let's say N5 is sober, and OPX seems to be more valuable (...iPhone-ish style...)
So, I'm not disappointed of OPX, but I still keep my N5 near me: if CM or AOSP don't fix lag/stability issues, I think I'll go back to N5. (...even if it has a poor battery life!)
Wait & see so!
[EDIT]
Made my choice: bought nano sim -> micro sim adaptater to go back to my perfect Nexus 5.
I'll wait until CM stable release, to see if stability/memory/CPU/bluetooth issues are solved... But I'm pretty sure nothing will ever equal a stock Nexus...
I'm actually really disappointed in the software aspect. The phone's touch is pretty bad after the 2.1.3 update of OxygenOS. The keyboard typing is extremely ****! I can't even type properly without having to repeatedly fix and retype the words. They need to fix this issue as its major. Instead of fixing bugs with updates... They just create new ones.
Kind of, just not happy with Sim slot
Well, I couldn't be more satisfied with this device.
Just one problem, they should've given a separate slot for memory card.
Earlier I used to use separate sims for Data and Calling, but now I have to move to single sim, and realized my operator's 3G network is very bad.

Facing some problem while typing. I think you might be right, I am also facing this problem.
No regret. I came from S3 mini so it's a new world for me

Love it, no regrets. Replaced an s4.
Oxygen os, not so much, though.
Looks like it has also good development potential.

My moto x pure is my daily driver. My opx is just sitting in the box debating on sending it back because of the enormous amount of complaints and issues being reported on this forum and OPs forum.
Sent from my XT1575 using XDA Free mobile app
Amazon took back my Moto x (2013) because it rebooted anytime it felt so and Motorola after sale care services failed to fix it (I am not sure they even care to try to fix it but that's another story).
When I bought the OPX I was fully aware that :
Camera was going to be bad
Autonomy was not going to be a strength
Storage was 16 go
It was not the most powerful newly released device
Still I went for it for many reason :
the size. My previous smartphone, 4,7" already felt a bit too big in my hands. I couldn't even imagine going for the 5,4" of the Moto Play and I didn't want the Moto X 2nd gen because the device is already a year old and I am pretty sure that if I were to have a problem with it i'd have the same kind of warranty than with my previous phone. I'd prefer my phone fixed than refunded.
I wanted a nice user experience, since Motorola provided an awesome one on Moto X. And OnePlus seemed to have put just what I was looking for in the OPX.
amoled screen
enough power for most of the things I like to do on a smartphone
headphone sound is pretty good
I didn't care about the design. I don't even like it it is nothing as ergonomic as my previous phone. And I don't care glass makes it look premium and stuff. I use cases.. But I admit the phone is eye-candy,
Since I have it I found out camera is really really bad, worse than my Moto X. So that you know. I won't blame anyone on that since as I said I knew it and anyway I have a nice canon camera that I 'd like to use
I don't use the sd card. I am happy with the 16Go so far so I don't know if it is really buggy or not but anyway OP seems to work on every bug people report so I am not worried.
So the only bug I found so far is that awful lag when you switch to and back from airplane / flight mode. It's a matter of seconds. 5? 7 maybe? But still really annoying.
I didn't update to 2.1.3 os version because too many people complained about it so everything is smooth on my phone. Even in the games I play. But I don't play heavy ones like asphalt. Though I tried hearthstone and it ran as smoothly as on my Moto X.

I love the phone, but am in a weird situation.
I am in the minority where I had a chinese bootloader unlock screen...these phones are unable to flash twrp. The ability to flash custom roms is why I want this phone and what would make it great, but I am not able to do that. Hopefully a fix will be found.

Is your phone running Hydrogen? Have you tried flashing stock OxygenOS - apparently you can do it over stock HydrogenOS without root etc; my Chinese OPX came with Oxygen preflashed and I was able to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP no worries.
I'm loving my OnePlus X, but it's not perfect. This is my first non-htc Android phone and I'm finding it better than my old m7 J One in many ways, but the camera is subpar and the battery life isn't great even with the dark theme.
Hi all,
I am at a bit of a loss here. I am an avid Nexus user (see sig below) though i want to like the OnePlus 2 though i keep reading horror stories and concerns about throttling, charging and performance issues over time. It's like they made an awesome phone though failed with the software implementation.
I am hoping like a lot of issues on devices that the XDA community has addressed these problems with a nice Custom ROM..
Can people give me some honest feedback regarding their experiences? I have read a lot of reviews though its all using the Factory ROM. I want to know how good the device can be with a good community rom.
Please let me know thanks very much.
Buy a 6P or wait for the new nexus, really looking forward to get rid of my OPT.
oneplus2 far much better than 5X

6P is too big and too expensive. Why don't you like it?
Between 5x and op2
Op2 any day.. Much better than 5x
Op2 FTW.

OTP I've had too many small and big problems and bugs, I mean, the phone is usable but doesn't live up to it's specs and hype, software is the worst part of all, and if you are already a nexus user you will find annoying to wait for new versions of Android, also if you're into custom roms you should always stick to nexus.
And de 5X is too expensive for it's built and specs.
I mean personally I would think of other options, the Nexbit Robin seems really nice, or you can wait for the new phones that are coming.

You cannot go wrong with a Nexus - I am a OP 1 and 2 user. Came from Nexus 5(which still works).
OP2 now has everything working Custom ROM's but there are still niggles, which do not hamper you daily use. Community support is almost at par with Nexus. Fingerprint scanner is a bit fickle, I am having mine RMA'ed right now.
On the other hand... 5x is way to expensive for the specs being offered.. You could wait for new lineup this summer.. OP3, Motorola etc..
Obviously opt unless you want to settle for a less specifications mobile device for a higher price.
OP2 has better everything except OTAs which can be fixed with cyanogenmod. I'd pick up the OP2 or wait for the next nexus line.
Op2 is an awesome phone, just flash the latest hydrogen os build on it and compare it with a 5x... Everything in op2 is better even the camera...
Nexus 5X price is a joke. I would buy a N5 for 150$ before N5X lol
I wouldnt buy a phone with 2gb of ram and snapdragon 808 in 2016 anyways
I am also very satisfied with my 2. It just works rocking solid. And it has the best fingerprint Sensor out there, i really love it! So fast and accurate if you set it up correct.
But if i were you, i would wait for the 3. It should be out in july, so its not that long. If you want a phone now, just get the 2
got them both.
op2 has better specs.
5x feels cheaper, cooler, charges faster, has lower memory, lower ram, single sim and has a smaller screen.
both last 4-5hrs sot on my daily usage
personally i have my OPT on sale and have considered getting the nexus 5X instead (been some price drops here in uk). mainly because the OPT software is horrible, heats up quick, sluggish performance on stock rom, even though custom roms significantly improve the device its still doesnt feel like a flagship, i.e. some lag and small bugs here and there. in comparison my dads redmi note 3 and sisters OPO feel faster and snappier in comparison and in my side by side usage there both are smoother while scrolling.
also another thing ... people go crazy about specs and wanting a phone with the best possible hardware but they are forgetting the main thing the user experience. The oneplus 2 is culprit of this as it has the best specs but software is horrible that you are forced to use a custom rom
5x if the price is cheaper depending on your available sources. OPT very prone to fingerprint sensor failure and the RMA process apparently has been a nightmare to those unlucky enough to need a replacement or even any kind of hardware technical support really.
Go with anything other than OPT i regret now buying opt instead of Moto X variants or Nexus variant.
There is little to no support from the company for updates and they dont even release source code in time.
XDA community is there true but still isnt on par with devices who has their source code released.
It's been posted but compare the two and see what ya come out with.. On paper the OP2 is the better phone. I'm glad I got mine. I was down to the Nexus 6 or OP2 and I'm glad I did.
I'm sure your gonna root the thing.. So CM and updates will flow... So yeah.. Get the OP2
And despite what you have been told.. Oxygen 3.0 is a damn nice ROM. I was a slim ROM freak and I'm satisfied and very happy with MM update.. Yeah it's beta but it's rock solid.
Hell.. I would get a OPO over the 5X
Wait for new device.
A lot of users thinks oneplus2 is failed in China, me too.
Wish Oneplus3 will be better.
I am still with my OPT just because of the ability to use two SIM cards. That's just way more practical for combining work+private SIM. Atleast I prefer it over having to take two phones with me.
So if it wasn't for that, I would still be using my Nexus 5X, since there's just way better software support.
I hope the OnePlus 3 will change that.
I'm not liking the design at all.

No... Not at all
My op2 didn't even complete a year
I change phones at least after 2 years of use
So maybe will look forward for op4
OP is going to release the final OxygenOS MM and maybe they will release also the OPT's Android 6 Device Tree, I don't think OP3 will be a great choice if they doesn't release Device Tree ASAP, cause modding needs it.
So, yep OP3 has a better hardware, I like that design, but OPT is still a good device. With OPT complete Device Tree we will get a fully working MultiROM, better custom roms, better customizations...And I don't want to face again the lack of sources on a device.
My next device? Maybe a Nexus.
Doesn't look overly inspiring to me. That said, there's nothing else on the market at the moment I'm that interested in.
Was the 6gb version just speculation, then? I quite liked the idea, even though that's a completely pointless amount of RAM to have on a phone
Wouldnt buy a phone with its specs for more than 300€. Considering OnePlus 3 will ship with android lollipop lol
This phone is good enough until 2018 or so if OnePlus release MM sources or update to N (dreaming)
Here is the link:

i will go for the op4, the only thing i dont like about the op2 is the heat sometimes (lets see how its going on summer )
I'll give it a go. I was happy with the op2, dodgy battery life but a good camera on a sub £300 phone with 64gb storage. At the end of the day that's enough for doing daily stuff.

Oneplus never again. I'm still waiting them to release the sources

I would stick with OP2. There is not much difference in the specs department of the two phones. And once the kernel sources are released for MM, the development will flourish and I don't think we would have to wait so long for CM 14 like we did for CM 13. Also, I would refrain from buying OP devices and would simply go for nexus.
The main thing I like about my OP2 is that it has its own individual design and stands out from the crowd. The OP3 looks like any other phone out there. I think this is a bad move on oneplus's part.
Hopefully they'll realise their mistake and go back to what they do best with the OP4. Based on the leaked specs it's not worth upgrading from the OP2 anyway.
Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk
I love the wooden backcovers on my OP2, one of the reasons I bought it and OP3 doesnt seem to have changeable backcovers. So no OP3 for me, if the leaked design is real.
Also now when eSIM seems to be on the rise, soon there won't be any need for phones with multiple SIM slots to have support for multiple phone providers. Instead we can have support for multiple SD-cards instead ?
No sandstone, no upgrade...
Its under 400$ ill upgrade ... I like the design it's op2+htc10 = op3

Agreed. I really like the design of the OP2. If I wanted a phone that looked like an HTC, I'd buy an HTC.
